Every step closer to disarmament bring us closer to nuclear war. Every nuke disarmed makes us one step closer to Putin or Xi thinking they can win a nuclear war.

By that logic, we must build 100x more nukes than we currently have, and if anyone suggests that 10x more is enough, they're a Russian puppet.

Or would you care to explain why the current number of nukes is the perfect amount, as opposed to, say, 1000 less? Did you even know how many nukes the US has when you wrote your comment?

The actual number is irrelevant, the change in number does Khamenei doesn't know how many nukes Israel or the US actual have. He'll make decisions based on what he does know. And a draw down tells him he can get away with more attacks.
